Diana Nyad at the Times has this article about Annika and women competing against men. Shaun Powell at Newsday talks about Nancy Lieberman's time playing hoops in the men's USBL. Lieberman faced many of the criticisms Annikca is now hearing. "The people opposed to her are making this bigger than it is," says Nancy. "All Annika's trying to do is get better. Lighten up. Isn't that what sports is all about?"

(The Times article says that, under LPGA rules, you must have been "female at birth" to play. Does that mean FTM trannies can play, but MTF can't?)
